I cannot stress enough how dangerous this trajectory is for disabled & traumatized people esp women. Putting #euthanasia increasingly on the table decreases the perception that even extreme trauma can heal and that life as a disabled person is worth living and deserves support.

This is described as "a decisive legal victory for Noelia." This young woman, who was only 25, is dead! What a tragedy and what a total failure by those who made the ruling. As for the doctors and medical staff: I can only view them with complete horror. So sad and shocking.

A hospital built by a religious order founded to protect the dying has now been used to end the life of a young traumatised woman who is not terminally ill. Noelia Castillo Ramos has been euthanized. Spain has murdered a 25 year old girl. At a Catholic founded Hospital. Lord have mercy Hospital Sant Camil was founded by the Camillian religious order, the Order of St Camillus de Lellis, after a donation of land in Sant Pere de Ribes near Barcelona in the 1960s. The hospital was built on land donated by a private benefactor and inaugurated in 1975 under the direct supervision of the Camillian fathers. Today it is managed by the Fundació Privada Hospital Residència Sant Camil and operates under agreement with the Catalan health authority, the Institut Català d'Assistència i Serveis Socials (ICASS) and the Servei Català de la Salut (CatSalut). It functions as the public reference hospital for the Garraf region of Barcelona under the Consorci Sanitari Alt Penedès-Garraf. Here is why this matters so much in the context of Noelia's case and it is deeply ironic and deeply painful. The Camillian Order was founded in the 16th century specifically to care for the sick and the dying. Their entire charism, their reason for existing, is the sanctity of human life in its most vulnerable moments. Their motto is Caritas in Infirmis, charity toward the sick. St Camillus de Lellis dedicated his life to reforming hospital care and treating patients with dignity precisely because they were being neglected and exploited by the medical institutions of his day. And yet it is in this very hospital, Sant Camil in Sant Pere de Ribes, that Noelia Castillo Ramos, a 25 year old rape survivor, has today received euthanasia. A hospital built by a religious order founded to protect the dying is now being used to end the life of a young traumatised woman who is not terminally ill. That is not just irony. That is a civilisational collapse in one building. St Camillus himself would weep! @LilaGraceRose @calvinrobinson @LifeSite

'Aircraft should always be vehicles of peace, never of war! No one should fear that threats of death and destruction will come from the sky. After the tragic experiences of the twentieth century, aerial bombardment should have been banished forever! Instead, as we know, it still exists, and technological development, which is positive in itself, is being put at the service of war. This is not progress, it is regression!' Pope Leo XIV

An internal audit found that Naas General Hospital paid over €473,000 to two private companies directed by public consultants to treat waiting-list patients without a competitive tender process. The report highlighted a "fee per patient" system that allowed some doctors to earn over €3,000 more per clinic than standard overtime rates, which auditors labeled an inefficient use of public funds The companies, whose directors were doctors in Tallaght University Hospital, were hired by Naas General Hospital to run extra clinics paid for by the National Treatment Purchase Fund (NTPF), which provides top-up money to reduce public waiting lists. The report from the office of the HSE’s chief internal auditor said the companies had been paid overtime rates between 2022 and 2025. #NTPF independent.ie/irish-news/hea…

Pope Leo XIV on Sunday voiced dismay over ongoing conflicts around the world, saying the suffering of innocent victims “hurts all of humanity” and urging an end to hostilities grounded in dialogue and respect for human dignity. catholicnewsagency.com/news/270681/po…

Quite. Laws legislating for physician-assisted suicide or euthanasia will inevitably fall short because the ultimate goal of such a law is the deliberate death of citizens. Such a law has no place in a civilised society. Legislatures where it is legal have descended to the depths of uncivilised madness.

Babies diagnosed with Down syndrome are aborted at extremely high rates around the world: Iceland: ~100%
Denmark: ~98%
France: ~77%
United Kingdom: ~90%
United States: 67–85% The discrimination against children with an extra chromosome must end.

@TheIrishViking7 The only scary thing I see is an angry man filming little kids playing. Shocking using that foul language in a playground. Very bad form too posting up pictures of parents and small children. If you think the country is in a bad way, your behaviour isn’t improving it.

Our country is gone 🇮🇪 😤

According to BBC Ninety percent of women whose unborn babies are diagnosed with Down's syndrome choose to have an abortion. So sad. They are absolutely worthy of life.

Something worth thinking about on World Down Syndrome Day. #WorldDownSyndromeDay #Dontscreenusout #WDSD #SavingDownsyndrome

How can we, as a society, claim to value and support people with disabilities while the vast majority of babies diagnosed with Down syndrome are aborted before birth, with the backing of Northern Ireland’s so-called public representatives? #WorldDownSyndromeDay 💙💛 #WDSD2026 #MakeAbortionUnthinkable

A horrendous report about children being left to cry for long periods -and that was when inspectors were there. Children are crying for their mammies and that’s the reality of it ☹️ Wexford crèche set to close amid Tusla action as parents scramble to find alternatives independent.ie/regionals/wexf…

I wonder if @MichealMartinTD has watched the BBC documentary 'A World Without Down Syndrome'? (And no, in that world it hasn't been cured. It's eugenics).

Today we celebrate the beauty, dignity, and joy of every life on World Down Syndrome Day 💙💛 Every person is uniquely made and deeply valued. Let’s continue working to build a world where all are welcomed, supported and loved. #WorldDownSyndromeDay #Aontú
